spat between Jordan Bardella and Charles Consigny on RMC

The sequence will be a landmark. Jordan Bardella et Charles Consigny both in very good shape, on the “Grandes Gueules” set, this Wednesday, November 20, on RMC. The first came to defend his new book, What I'm looking forpublished on November 9 by Fayard. The second was, as it should be, faithful to his position as chronicler. From the outset, the tone was set.

“I fear that we have moved into the era of Instagrammers. I think that Gabriel Attal, yourself, a certain number of political figures today, are in reality people who are to politics what Léna Situations is to fashion, that is to say people who have a very good command of the image, an oratorical talent, that's why I think you know what you are saying when you say it”began the lawyer.

He didn't stop there. “How do you think you can govern people when you have no experience of any concrete and difficult reality?”added, the favorite loudmouth of the PAF, himself a rather good speaker. Obviously, the secretary general of the National Rally found the solution. “Mr. Consigny, I was on my cell phone. I was looking at your score the last time you ran for office…”the politician told him.

“You made 12%. You were fourth. You got kicked out. And it wasn't very famous. I who received 32% of the votes in the European elections and eleven million votes in the legislative elections, perhaps, apart from you, there are French people who find it interesting for me to be in political life”he was pleased to specify.

“It’s remarkable. I congratulate you. You all alone (…)?”then sends him Consigny. Then the tone rose. The atmosphere became tense. “Besides, I remember that during the legislative elections, I debated with Mr. Consigny and that he ran behind me in the boxes to implore me to take photos with his collaborators, with his campaign team.” Before you ask: “Do you remember that?”

No doubt the remark too many. “But prove it!”the columnist taunted him. And the deputy cuts him off again: “You didn’t think I was an Instagrammer at the time. It was you who wanted to put my photo on Instagram, Mr. Consigny.” An allegation with which his interlocutor could only respond. “This is completely inaccurate. I didn't take any photos with you, I didn't ask for any photos. And neither do my young activists. It’s you who was flirting with the whole floor!” A proper cockfight.
